Has your DH ever had..................

"your symptoms".  My dh is going to sleep by 9:00pm, even when there is a Mets game on.  The day before yesterday he said he had the worst headche ever, and he hardly ever gets headaches.  And just today he's telling me that he is getting a sore throat.  That I passed my cold onto him.  

Another personal thing that happened is that yesterday I asked him why we haven't baby dance ever since the pregnancy, he says (halfway asleep) H honey, I don't feel like it, I don't have desire to do it"  I was like  WHAATTT???!!!! I just went to sleep and forgot he said that.  

Have any of you ladies ever had this "situation"?

I heard stories about that from my BF. He told me his stories and although I should not have laughed, I agree Joy, we are stronger.

sorry dear, 67 days to go and My DH can wait for the baby to get out! the first trimester he was really sorry for me and was very supportive, house chores and all. 2nd, he started looking forward to being a daddy, always asking how baby's doing and touching my tummy, NOW, aaaaarrghh...he wont feel the baby kicks, complains that i'm too fat, talk often about how baby is going take 90% of our finances and time, reminds me that i have to get back to shape ASAP( Meaning in a matter of weeks) .not that he's not happy, but i think it's just a way of expressing his anxiety. Men are really soft inside and most times more concerned than they show

They call it "couvade".

Oh. My. Goodness! Yes, my husband was a huge baby when I was pregnant. "I'm too tired..." or "I'm in pain..." or "I don't feel good!"

Don't you know women are superior?! LOL! We were created to be stronger and put up with more crud! I have been sick as a dog and been taking care of the household. But boy-oh-boy if the king of the castle is sick... LOL!!!

I'm totally making fun of him. I harbor no ill feelings... I think he needs to wrote a book!

This is actually very common. Its called sympathy symptoms. Its very common for them to have the same aches and pains, morning sickness, and even cravings. When I was pregnant (which was unfortunately only for 8 weeks) I craved chinese food and my boyfriend was like "Oh that sounds soooo good, lets go get some!" He was all excited about it...maybe he was having cravings!
